Joseph Pulitzer and Joe Howard en-
gage in a Mild set-to.

New YORK, Feb. s.-Joseph Pulitzer, edi-
tor of the World, and Joseph Howard, Jr (,
one of the writers on that paper, engaged in
quarrel in Mr.. Pulitzer's Office this after
noon, during which Mr.. Howard received a
blow in the face. He retorted by applying
opprobrious epithets to Mr.. Pulitzer,
whereupon the latter ,peremptorily ordered
him from the Office and facilitated his going.
The cause of the quarrel is not known. 1t Is
said that Howard will bring a suit for dam
ages against his assailant. The episode is
the talk of the town today. Howard has
gone to Montreal to the carnival. Pulitzer
says he greatly regrets his hasty action.

1t seems to me, too, that the conception of
duty to the state which is derived from reli-

responsibility which is Of the greatest value
in the operation of the government by the

BLAcKsToNE's CASE.
The Arguments on the Evidence
Begun.
Especial to the PREss.l

WINNIPEG, Man, Feb. 9.-The arguments
on the evidence in the Blackstone case were
commenced today. The contention of the
prosecution is that the acts performed by the
prisoner under the holdings of the courts in
Ontario are clearly forgery. On behalf of
Blackstone it is argued that the offence
charged differs in every case of recent date
which is cited against r. E. Holt and others,
that at most he did nothing more than falsi-
fly the accounts of the bank, and such falsi-
fication is not such as to bring him within
the meaning of the extradition treaty, as it
cannot be construed as forgery, and he,
therefore, cannot be sent across the line for
trial. The argument was not concluded, and
the case was adjourned until tomorrow
